John Amos Denies Daughter’s Claims That He’s A Victim Of Elder Abuse, Confirms Hospitalization

However, Amos himself tells TMZ that no one is abusing him, and he isn’t currently fighting for his life. The TV star reportedly doesn’t know why his daughter created the GoFundMe.

Amos’ representative Belinda Foster tells the outlet that he’s been hospitalized due to fluid filling up in his lower body and into his abdomen. The health scare was causing problems with his heart, TMZ reports, but he’s reportedly not in life-threatening danger.

In fact, doctors have since drained all of the fluid, and Foster says Amos is almost back to 100 percent health-wise.
